Isaiah 48:16-19
New Living Translation
16 Come closer, and listen to this.
From the beginning I have told you plainly what would happen.”
And now the Sovereign Lord and his Spirit
have sent me with this message.
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is good for you
and leads you along the paths you should follow.
18 Oh, that you had listened to my commands!
Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.
19 Your descendants would have been like the sands along the seashore—
too many to count!
There would have been no need for your destruction,
or for cutting off your family name.”
Isaiah 48:16-19
New American Standard Bible
16 (A)Come near to Me, listen to this:
From the beginning I have (B)not spoken in secret,
(C)From the time it took place, I was there.
And now (D)the Lord [a]God has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
17 This is what the Lord says, He who is your (E)Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to benefit,
Who (F)leads you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had (G)paid attention to My commandments!
Then your [b](H)well-being would have been like a river,
And your (I)righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your [c](J)descendants would have been like the sand,
And [d]your offspring like its grains;
(K)Their name would never be eliminated or destroyed from My presence.”
